  Yes.  This is something that seems to becoming a problem that Eric
is unfortunately displaying.  He seems to frequently either misread,
misinterpret, or characterize in a manner that is other than what
another has posted to fit a certain political ideal of his preference.
As such, a troubling disruption seems to be yet again raising it's

  Indeed.  ANd this is how I interpreted or understood the manner MHSC
operates its business.  None the less it is good for those that are assuming
otherwise for purpose or purposes that are of a rather political nature
of contrary design.

  Indeed true.  And this is an important point that is sometimes not in the
thinking process or some.
